Just updated to the newest Apache I also have PHP 5.1 (recently updated ) and the newest SSL (recently updated)

This server does not have any traffic really as its just been sitting idle for the past year as I havent had time to do any set up on it.

It has the newest version of DA. Which also seems to crash when running the upgrade scripts.

You can see here httpd needs constants restarting. sshd goes down almost as frequently...

The IP I am masking is mine.... and I am not using an invalid username. I have always gotten it on the first try so what gives?

I was screwing around earlier trying to get SSL to work so I must have changed the last 2 virtual hosts in httpd.conf... none the less those are only warnings not reasons for httpd and sshd to crash every minute.
 
update..

Getting php 5.2 and the newest ssh and the newest MySQL seems to have helped some. I havent had a restart since 11:30 but I still dont think this problem is fixed and my ssh still likes to die on me.
 
I've got this exact issue on ONE server

PHP 5.2.1 (cli)
# httpd -v
Server version: Apache/2.2.4 (Unix)
Server built: Apr 28 2007 23:55:59


Anyone got any ideas, I'm plum outta ideas right now and a server full of customers down
 
Anyone with this problem, please run the following command, from the shell, as root:
Code: 
/sbin/service httpd restart
and paste the output here.

Jeff
 
I've got the exact same problem.


My httpd just stops automatically, and I don't see much traffic either.


My error log had read the same problem mentioned in this topic.
When i performed /sbin/service httpd restart using shell, i get the following.

This looks normal; you'll have to have someone look at your server.

I have the same problem!

It looks like its some snakeoil.com problem. How do I solve it?

Using a service httpd restart gets me :
Code: 
[root@soundwave httpd]# /sbin/service httpd restart

*and it keeps on looping like this till I ctrl-C *

But I can run httpd manually, with service start httpd.

David, your probably looks quite different. It looks as if you've got too many processes running; perhaps you're undergoing a DOS attack.

Starting httpd again before you've shut down all the processes is probably a bad idea.

To shutdown all the httpd processes when you have this problem:
Code: 
# killall httpd
# killall -9 httpd
Then restart:
Code: 
# service httpd restart
Jeff
 
Code: 
[root@soundwave davidc]# killall httpd
[root@soundwave davidc]# killall -9 httpd
httpd: no process killed
[root@soundwave davidc]# service httpd restart
bash: service: command not found
[root@soundwave davidc]# /sbin/service httpd restart

Still the same.

No its not a DDOS for sure. And my problem is that my httpd will be down for about 1-10 seconds ocassionally and then it will go back up without any user intervention. The error logs I've posted 2 post up, is what happened during that period of downtime.

Click to expand...
First, you need to clean up httpd.conf file and make sure the directives and syntax are correct. When you do that, I suggest you re-compile Apache. If the problem presists, I suggest you seek professional help.
 
my httpd.conf looks normal.

Will recompiling cause any problem to existing sites and configurations?
 
What OS Distribution are you using? it either doesn't have the service command or it puts it some other location.

Jeff
 
This is a quote from post #10, from you, in this thread:
Code: 
[root@soundwave davidc]# service httpd restart
bash: service: command not found
Your server doesn't find the service command.

Jeff
 
/sbin/service works.

and service works if I log on as root.

Its just a path issue.
 
You say it works when logged in as root, but your post (see my paste-in of it above) says it doesn't.

When bash says it's not found, that means it's not working.

Jeff
 
it works when I do a su -

and what does this path issue have anything to do with the problem on hand?
 
Nothing ... I missed that you'd rerun the service command with the correct path after you got the error. I read and respond to many posts daily, and this is just simply something I missed.

If your restart is failing to stop all the processes it will continue to loop until it does. Perhaps your httpd start/stop/restart script needs to be updated; I don't know how it's attempting to restart the code.

Does the service stop command work?

Jeff
 
Actually, I don't even know if this restart thing is causing the problem.

The real main problem is that my httpd seems to crash occassionally for no reason and then gets back online within 10-30 seconds later.

The error_log I've pasted a few posts back is the log that I get when one such crash happened.
